I booked a single room that was enough forward me. The carpeted areas on corridors and at least in my room need attention- there were visible stairs in various places. The bed was very comfortable, but the base was quite stained. Lovely big towel and a bath- but nowhere to hang the towel to dry as no healing/ towel rails. Warm room with tea and coffee provided with biscuits. Nice staff too. Breakfast was nice although coffee wasn't that great...

We had an absolutely amazing stay here at the Pilgrim hotel! Canterbuty itself is a must-see town if you are visiting in England and I would highly recommend this boutique hotel. It was charming and clean. Staff were nice and available when needed. Continental breakfast was very good! More options than most. I would absolutely stay here again and hope to be back. :)
